The signature ceremony was held in the presence of M. Philippe Courtier, Director of UTC, and the President of SHU, Mr LIU Changsheng.
The meeting also gave the opportunity to exchange about the perspectives offered by the new master course, the first of its kind since the settlement of UTSEUS in 2005.

The convention signed intends that the new “UTSEUS master course of SHU” receives in a soon future the accreditation of the French commission in Engineering (CTI) (“Admission by the French State”), and allows for award of a national French Master’s degree in jointly accredited by the Universities of Technology.
This “UTSEUS master course of SHU”, dedicated to mechatronics – in the wider context of “Cyber-Physical Systems” -, will recruit about 100 Chinese and French students each year.
This new programme is an important extension of the bachelor level education system of UTSEUS. The aim is to implement, within Shanghai university, an integrated system inspired from the French engineering model and experience, so as to train future high-level talents able to succeed in an intercultural and international environment.
